HC Deb 07 July 1924 vol 175 cc1793-4W
Mr. HUDSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that British-Indian subjects on arrival at Hong Kong are required to report for inquiry at the police headquarters; and whether other British subjects have to comply with a similar order?

Mr. THOMAS

The law of Hong Kong requires that all persons of non-Asiatic race or nationality and all Indians must report at a police station within 12 hours of their arrival in the Colony unless they have been examined by a police officer or examination officer at the time of their arrival.
